Promoting emotional well-being in African and Caribbean males
Date: 16 January 2008
Venue: ORT House Conference Centre, London NW1
Despite many years of published evidence on the over representation of African and Caribbean males in mental health services, the disparities remain unchanged.
For example, it is commonly felt that the recommendations in 1993 from inquiries into the deaths of Michael Martin, Joseph Watts and Orville Blackwood, who all died at Broadmoor psychiatric hospital, were not implemented. Consequently, when David (Rocky) Bennett also died, the need to implement the recommendations from this inquiry in 2003 became even more urgent.
This conference will consider the situation for African and Caribbean males. It will highlight good practice across a range of services, that can help prevent mental ill health and promote emotional well-being in black males.
